Isaiah 35 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

The Joy of the Redeemed

Isa 35:1

The wilderness and the desert will be delighted,

And the [fn]Arabah will rejoice and flourish;

Like the crocus

Isa 35:2

It will flourish profusely

And rejoice with rejoicing and shout of joy.

The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,

The majesty of Carmel and Sharon.

They will see the glory of Yahweh,

The majesty of our God.

Isa 35:3

Strengthen limp hands, and give courage to the knees of the stumbling.

Isa 35:4

Say to those with an anxious heart,

“Be strong, fear not.

Behold, your God will come with vengeance;

The recompense of God will come,

But He will save you.”

Isa 35:5

Then the eyes of the blind will be opened,

And the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.

Isa 35:6

Then the lame will leap like a deer,

And the tongue of the mute will shout for joy.

For waters will break forth in the wilderness

And streams in the [fn]Arabah.

Isa 35:7

Then the [fn]scorched land will become a pool

And the thirsty ground springs of water;

In the haunt of jackals, its resting place,

Grass becomes reeds and rushes.

Isa 35:8

And a [fn]roadway will be there, a highway,

And it will be called the Highway of Holiness.

The unclean will not pass by on it,

But it will be for him who walks in that way,

And ignorant fools will not wander on it.

Isa 35:9

No lion will be there,

Nor will any vicious beast go up on it;

[fn]These will not be found there.

But the redeemed will walk there,

Isa 35:10

And the ransomed of Yahweh will return

And come with joyful shouting to Zion,

With everlasting gladness upon their heads.

They will [fn]attain delight and gladness,

And sorrow and sighing will flee away.
